Serializer on 4WD rovers

Hi All,

I would like to use the Serializer on a 4WD rover chassis. What would be the best way to connect the 4 motors with the serializer, if at all possible, and will the .NET library support this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rini

Re: Serializer on 4WD rovers

The Serializer has two onboard h-bridges, which can drive two DC motors (and has velocity and distance PID control too).  If you wanted to control two additional dc motors, you could add a Gamoto I2C PID Motor controller, or something similar, and use the I2C port on the Serializer, along w/ the generic I2C commands.

There is an I2CDevice class in the .NET lib that you can use too.
